Challenges of Multi-cluster Kubernetes Management and Operations

The way software applications are developed and deployed has been completely revolutionized by application containerization. Kubernetes has established itself as one of the top solutions for container orchestration over time. It has supported enterprises in achieving scalability, robustness, portability, and better resource use in their products. However, managing Kubernetes is still challenging. The first thought that comes to mind is whether we should use a single cluster or a multi-cluster for Kubernetes.

Although a single cluster is simple to set up and manage, it provides a fundamental Kubernetes feature, but it lacks the typical resilience and high availability that Kubernetes is renowned for. In many cases, a single cluster is inadequate to manage the load effectively across all components. As a result, we require multiple clusters in order to more effectively divide the workload and resources, necessitating the use of a multi-cluster solution.

Multi-cluster Kubernetes setup and management are complex. If you want to learn how organizations leverage CloudCompass for multi-cluster Kubernetes management.

with Mr. Ashok Kumar, Vice President at Coredge, and Mr. Prabhjot Singh Sethi, VP-Engineering at Coredge, where they discussed the key aspects of multi-cluster Kubernetes management adoption that will ensure a faster go-to-market using containerization initiatives.

Key points discussed:

• What is Multi-cluster Kubernetes? Needs and potential use cases.
• What are Day 0, Day 1, and Day 2 Kubernetes Cluster Operations?
• Kubernetes management challenges while managing thousands of clusters hosted in different environments
